FWIW, I see a similar behaviour with seamonkey. When viewing web sites, it seems to be timing dependent: if the remote hosts respond instantly, there's no problem. If one host is slow to answer (2-3 seconds delay), the browser begins to spin with 100% CPU. Using a proxy on my ISP network is enough to alleviate this problem. -- Francois Tigeot
